Been tempting to post this for a while lol, there are idd a lot of similarities.

but is Maldonado more wreckless or is Maldonado racing a harder generation of drivers?
imho, he's still racing as a GP2 driver, and i beleive soon Williams will give him a little tap in the shoulder and say goodbye, he needs to realize that, he's in the verge of crossing the line and being 100% Stupid.

also, Massa finished 1 lap behind Alonso, how he managed such a feat?

Slash, Massa sustained damage from Kobayashi, think the damage sustained ruined his cars performance, what with the caterham of Petrov passing him.

I still do not understand why Bruno got the drive though on Sunday tbh. Front what I can see there was never a gap.

Its no worse than Nico done to Alonso at Barhain, only there was a run off area. But Koby was never along side and would not have got along side.

I think the difference is that Nico knew Alonso was there and there was space for Alonso to take evasive action.

Bruno seemed to have no knowledge of another driver, which is arguably far more dangerous, and squeezed him into a wall.

About bloody time! Hans Stuck, who's now the president of the german motorsport association, has sent a warning to Red Bull after Vettel and Marko had their outburst about the safety car. "Sebastian Vettel should learn to be a good loser," he said.

Yup ..... Here's what he said .............

The President of the German motor sport association DMSB, Hans-Joachim Stuck has sent a warning to Red Bull after Sebastian Vettel and Dr. Helmut Marko commented that the safety car was used to stop the German driver from dominating the European Grand Prix in Valencia.

The safety car was deployed when Vettel comfortably lead the race
The safety car was deployed when Vettel comfortably lead the race

Vettel was leading the race by over 20 seconds, when debris from an accident between Vergne and Kovalainen caused the safety car to be deployed. The German believed the decision was made not just to clear debris but also to “break our neck.”

Red Bull Racing adviser Dr. Helmut Marko agreed with Vettel’s theory.

"Vettel was too far ahead and so the field was brought back together," the Austrian told German television. "Just as they do in American racing."

However Stuck has warned both that accusing the FIA of such behaviour could be seen as “unsportsmanlike conduct.”

“Sebastian Vettel should learn to be a good loser,” Stuck told German Eurosport. “It was clear there was debris on the circuit, representing a danger of puncture to the other cars. For that reason, the safety car was justified.”

Mmmm ...

Yeah, he hit some debris early in the race, then, along with Button, was caught out by the timing of the SC (was ahead of Hulkenberg before that), and then was clobbered by Kobayashi. Kamui's got a grid penalty for that, even though I thought from the replay that he may have received a hit himself that pushed him into Massa.

Herr Stuck has a point...I doubt The Helmet would be complaining if it was Webber leading by such a distance.

Disgraceful attitude from Vettel. There is no need to copy the antics of the youthful Alonso.
